The Mill
Race Folk Society is a non-profit, registered charity and its
purpose
is to host folk music events in the area of Cambridge, Ontario, Canada.
The main event staged by the Society is the annual Mill Race Festival
of Traditional Folk Music (July 30 - August 1, 2010), which is a free admission
event that has
been held since 1993.
 
Evening concert at the Mill Race amphitheatre; some of the
2009
performers.
The festivals' focus is on traditional forms of folk music and dance
from a variety of cultures. Because it was inspired by similar events
held in the United
Kingdom, a significant part of the content
is British and Irish music. However, an equally significant
number of acts represent a variety of
world cultures and the multinational character that is Canada today.
Many concerts, dance and participatory music
sessions are held throughout the year. Please
visit the Contact page for information
on becoming a member,
a volunteer, or other associate of
the Mill Race Folk Society.
